Drop !n And See Me
We hear poets chant the loveliness
and reformers bemoan the passing of
the long dresses—asserting tha$ with
them has passed the modest maiden
and gallant youth. We read of the
beauties of ]ong ago and visuaiize the
descriptions into fantastic dream-girts,
with fiowing tresses covering dainty
shoulders and hoop skirts, hiding even
the ankles, thus allowing room for con-
jecture as to relative size and shape.
They tell us that today the ankle is
no longer recognized as a thing of
' beauty, but its lowly birth causes its
: abandonment for things upon, a higher
! plane of activity.
: All, these reformers, these wouid-be
resurrectors of the past, would that
, they might have tread the corridors
! and cloisters or lounged upon the
j door steps on Friday last. There their
vision of loveliness woutd have passed
before them as hideous as the sins
of their miserable lives. Long skirts,
green ribbons, ye gods; let him who
will bring back such specimen of an-
cient glory, but as for me iet modern
woman show her ankles, aye, her knees
if she wish, rather than such incon-
gruous shapes, forms and styies as
these.

The man had just informed the Pull-
man agent that he wanted a Pullman
berth.
"Upper or lower?" asked the agent.
"What's the difference? " asked the
man.
"A difference of 50 cents in this
case," replied the agent. "The lower
is higher than the upper. The higher
price is for the lower. If you want it
lower, you'll have to go higher. We
sell the upper iower than the lower,
in other words, the higher the lower.
"Most people don't iike the upper,
although it is lower on account of be-
ing higher. When you occupy an up-
per you have to get up to go to bed
and get down when you get up. You
can have the lower if you pay higher.
The upper is lower than the lower be-
cause it is higher. If you are willing
to go higher it will be lower."
But the poor man had fainted.
